<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 760187, member: 39&quot;]Interesting piece. Squeezing so much text into so relatively little space sure requires a lot of experience or talent, or both.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some more info about that medal. If you can read the text on the piece, you will be able to read this too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <a href="http://www.hmb.ch/ServiceBroker?PAGEID=2000" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hmb.ch/ServiceBroker?PAGEID=2000" rel="nofollow">http://www.hmb.ch/ServiceBroker?PAGEID=2000</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If not, the text says this is a religious medal, by Philipp Heinrich Müller, from Augsburg, Bavaria, made around 1700. The three scenes depicted are the creation of Eve, the Crucifixion and Pentecost, with puttos in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>The medal was sold as a baptism or confirmation gift. Müller was, according to the info text, also famous for his perfect edge inscriptions. (Guess that would apply to bigger medals.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
